The Skank of Mt. Tabor is the southern trail on Tabor that really sucks.

Today's race was down in Wilsonville at Villebois. It was super nice out and the track was fast. Jeremy rode with the C's, though he should be up in the B's so we can sleep in. I tried out the new camera and it was dope. It'll take a bit to get used to, but I think the pics are better already.

I got a new camera on Friday. I was trying out my dad's camera and decided I needed a SLR myself. I went up to Washington Park on Saturday to hike around Hoyt Arboretum to try out the camera and get in a little walk.

Today's race was at Alpenrose. Keevin, Matt and Jeremy rode. Ingrid was out because she sprained her ankle moving Angel's stuff on Saturday. It was cold, wet and muddy.

I got the scans back from the Yashicha film we took at City of Rocks. I edited the images to have less exposure and Gamma to compensate for the scanning adding too much noise and being over exposed. These are how prints would look.

I made a ramp for the dogs to get to the window in the basement. It's 95% done as I just have some railings to put on the the ramp itself for the pooches. I overbuilt it as it supports my weight and the dogs weigh like nothing. And we had a visitor in the house.

Today's race was at Barlow High school. It was a lot warmer than last year so that made it hard. If it was wet I would say the mud made it hard.

We went to the PRG Ice Festival to watch Keevin compete. He came in 2nd in the first round, tied in the 2nd and was the only one to finish the route in the 3rd. So he's the champion. Check out the video of the finish of the 2nd round.

This weeks cyclocross was over in Hood River. I have decided not to race this year as my back is still giving me issues. So I rode up from Government Camp to Timberline Lodge to see if I've improved. My time was actually 30 seconds slower. I blame the weather (it was 30 deg colder and raining). Matt DNFed as his knee was not feeling the runups. Ingrid did a sweet jump.

I put a gate inbetween the garage and the house to block out the back yard for the dogs to roam free. Unfortunately the possums are in the side yard sometimes, and Rocky thinks it's cool to roll around in their scat. It's beyond shag nasty.
